Only 4,899 members is pretty depressing.

Might pick it up just to watch the 2nd season.

NHK, rich co-producer, loves this kind of anime. No wonder there is a second season. Wish Spice & Wolf was also co-produced by them.

How fucking great is this? I open the browser and get 3 amazing pieces of news (This, Genshiken and Toriko)!

I'm really enjoying this very much and was planning on reading the manga after the anime, but this way it's much better. Looking very much forward to it!
I probably regret this post by now.

This makes me wonder how the first season will end now. I like it so far, but I wonder about the historical accuracy. I need to read up on this era to see if the anime is close to the real history or not. Three Kingdoms anime/manga surely do not at all.

While the CG becomes more competent compared to its premiere, it´s still there at least a 70% of the show. Plus, the first arc is quite weak.
I assure you the plot seriously improves later on and Xin gets plenty of development, but you´ll need to be patient for it...

I seriously did not see that coming,this was a pleasant surprise.

I say that this is one of the most underrated shows of 2012.Glad to see that it's getting a 2nd season.
Hopefully,they'll either fix or get rid of the CGI.My main issue with the series & the main reason why people dropped it in it's beginning.

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

Apart from cgi, the story and the characters was really good. Give it a try there but be patient because the beginning was kinda weak there.

Considering the score was 6.68 after 3 eps, i'd say its made outstanding progress.

I thought Souten Kourou was mostly accurate?

And I believe too little is known about this era to say anything about its accuracy. Or is it?

Kingdom is not too historical. It is not enough to compare political historical fact. Even Zhang is supose to be nastier. He exaggerates even the skill of war certain character in Kingdom. It should be recalled that about 20 years later, the Qin dynasty will be destroyed and will have the war between Chu and Han to see who will become emperor.

No, the works of the three kingdoms are quite different even if they are good. Most strategy of Zhuge Liang in the novel are invented and they do not really real. They even change the nature of some character.

I heard Souten Kouro wasn't an adaptation of the novel.

Most Souten Kouro fact are just in the book ROTK. There are some things that are unique to Souten Kouro, but most are false. The only thing is that it is more focused on Cao Cao. In the book, the thing s are mentioned, but since it is more focused on Liu Bei, it goes unperceived.

Finally after 20 year probably the end of the manga. Do not be disappointed, the author will have no choice but to changing the mindset of Zhang. We must see that Liu Bang will make the longest dynasty in China. He is even more impressive because it was a peasant who becomes an emperor

I came so close to dropping it because of the CGI and obnoxious main character, but I'm so damn glad I didn't. Despite the cgi, this is becoming a favorite of mine. Shin does get some good development, and becomes a quiet likable character if you bare with him.

I'm just as excited for the new season as I am Monogatari 2nd season. The depiction of war and of the bonds of comradeship make this something special. Can't wait for June.

I was not talking about Romance of the Three Kingdoms which is not the original novel. That is a dramatized version with an extreme bias towards Liu Bei and what he accomplishes with Zhuge Liang. I was talking about the original book Records of the Three Kingdoms which is still biased, but still more historically accurate. Souten Kourou has many inaccuracies and made up events that never happened at all.

Basically:

Records of the Three Kingdoms is the official history compiled by court historian.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a historical novel written many hundreds of years ago in China.

Souten Kourou is a modern manga that is based on the two above, with its own take of dramatization and changes, and was written by a Korean living in Japan.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
